2006 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · LC06 XEL

This Peugeot 107’s most recent MOT test occurred on 22 April 2022, with a recorded mileage of 80,852 miles at the time of passing. The vehicle’s status remains technically compliant for the 2022-2023 test cycle, though the record shows an unusual dual-entry on the same date—one pass and one fail—both at identical mileage, suggesting either a clerical error or a very brief retest. No defects were logged in either entry, which implies the tester did not identify any major failings in brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity during that assessment. However, the lack of subsequent testing means the vehicle has not been re-evaluated since April 2022, a gap of over four years. Given the vehicle’s age (nearing 20 years) and the absence of recent MOT history, the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed beyond that 2022 snapshot. The recorded mileage of 80,852 miles over approximately 20 years equates to roughly 4,043 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or potential mileage tampering. The abrupt jump from zero to 80,851 miles between tests—with no intermediate records—raises questions about the vehicle’s true service history. Low mileage can mask hidden issues, particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Conversely, if the vehicle has indeed been stored for extended periods, fluids may have degraded, tyres could have developed dry rot, and corrosion may have progressed in underbody and wheel arch areas. Given the sparse MOT record and the vehicle’s age, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical wear items. Focus on the suspension—check for cracked or perished bushes, sagging coil springs, and binding calipers, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear, glazed discs, or warping, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, as emissions systems in this model are prone to failure. Underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, which can compromise structural integrity and fluid lines. Given the lack of recent testing, verify fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and condition, as degraded fluids can lead to sudden component failure. The tyres, while not flagged in the MOT, should be checked for tread depth and signs of dry rot, as their age may exceed manufacturer recommendations.
